Does it feel like every muscle is contracting in your neck throat and head!! I literally feel like I could fall down in a seizure it's so much pressure

Im having physical therapy for my neck, thats how bad it hurts. As far as headaches..propranalolol works for anxiety and headaches..ask your doctor for it

But it's not a pain it's a pulling pressure feeling..

Yea it's your muscles. No bleeding. You might e tensing your neck or shoulders without knowing it because you might be stressed from anxiety. My head and neck was tense the other day. No pain, just felt like a tightness. It was scaring me too. I drank some valerian root tea and went to sleep. Although when I woke up the next day the feelings kind of came back. But then went away during the rest of the day. You might want to take a magnesium supplement. It can calm anxiety and reduce the tingling

You probably have a tension migraine. I'm a licensed massage therapist and I also suffer from horrible migraines. In school we learned about different kinds of headaches and if it feels like a pressure around your head than its probably a tension headache. I get them all the time. It goes all the way down my neck and back. They are horrible and for me, they last for weeks. I would definitely suggest getting a massage. They really do help for a number of different things! I hope you feel better!

The only time I get a migraine is if I have had caffeine or if I have a stiff neck. Stiff necks and shoulders cause lots of pain. If you have the courage to go for one, a back or head and shoulders massage really helps.

I get like weird pressure/ sensation feelings in my neck and mostly right side of head, every night. I'm having a terrible time trying to convince myself that it's just anxiety, and not an actual brain problem:/ only happens at night, I think its because I have a mega fear of dying in my sleep.its weird and scary.
